    Up where I live they would be useless because of the roads we have. But I agree with you if the price is right. And the footage from asphalt events in fast sections is quite nice.

    One riddle: around which car was the biggest crowd in the service zone, which car was definetely most photographed or in the stages or on the arivalls/exsits from control points (speaking for the rally Rebenland previous weekend)? Porsche 911 997 GT3 from Kris Rosenberger. And he was far from the battle for the victory, he is even not best RWD driver in this part of EU.....but Porsche is attractive, if you admit or not....

    Nicolas Ciamin finished 5th overall in Rallye Lyon-Charbonnières. After 207km SS he was only 1m20s behind the winner (Bonato - C3 R5) and in front of many R5 and few WRC cars.

    Strong result for Ciamin but what is the specification of that car? Should be different to R-GT?

    It certainly is less restricted than the R-GT version. According to Milano Racing the GT+ version (which Ciamin was driving) has 340hp, quite a lot for only 1050kg. More info: https://www.milano-racing.com/vehicules-modernes

    Fantastic news! Full PR:

    THE BIG RETURN TO RALLYING

    World Champion in 1973, Alpine wrote some of the finest pages in its history in rally and the least that can be said is that its return to the special stages has been highly anticipated by many competitors and observers!

    Signatech has been entrusted with the design, development and marketing of a rally version of the Alpine A110 from an overall framework defined by Alpine aimed at preserving the strengths and spirit of the production car. As for the GT4 and Cup, Philippe Sinault’s structure will work in close collaboration with the Alpine teams.

    Based on the A110 Cup, this two-wheel drive version will produce nearly 300 horsepower. It is intended primarily for asphalt rallies and drivers looking for a fast, fun and easy to drive product. Its homologation and which category it will compete in is currently under discussion with the FFSA and the FIA. The technical specifications and price will be announced in September.

    Available in the second half of 2019, the first examples of the Alpine A110 “Rally” will be delivered in two stages by the end of the year, first in France, then in Europe.

    So it is not clear, if it is an R-GT car or something else?

    GT rally rules are sligtlhy different in France; probably they’ll make a RGT for foreign costumers and a GT+ for local drivers.
